Now you're getting why I want to shut the site down, since there is no reasonable expectation of support in any sort of timely manner.

I do think you need to turn this around, though. I had a similar thing happen, and while my initial impulse was to question why people hadn't shown up, I ultimately had to realize that I wasn't building deep enough friendships with people.

I'm sorry this happened to you, but try and use it to propel yourself in a different more meaningful direction with people. If you want another day or two to think people suck, that's fine, too, of course...

I'm angry at their families. One of the people's parents told him he couldn't go because of grades, another person went to Annapolis with his family, and Yakow's sister was returning from college. The last of the three said he'd still try to make it, but I haven't gotten a single response from any emails or text messages, and he hasn't been answering the phone. And that is the part that's really bothering me. I would have gotten over it if it weren't for that. So I have no idea what happened now and I'm just disappointed and upset.
